Recreate Users

Sometimes it is necessary to recreate a user who was previously deleted. For example, an employee may have left the company and then rejoined at a later date.

When a user account is deleted, CA DataMinder marks that user as deleted, but does not remove their user account from the CA DataMinder enterprise. In practice, this means that the user is no longer visible, and no new events can be associated with them.

If a user is then created with a user name that matches a single deleted user account, CA DataMinder will automatically recreate that deleted user and add an entry to the Activity log. To do this, you need to configure the CMS machine policy to allow user accounts to be undeleted.

When a user is recreated, all user attributes and e-mail addresses are set to their previous values, and links to associated events are restored. All privileges, passwords and management groups are set to the default values for a new user.
